Diastasis recti can be diagnosed by physical examination, which may include measuring the distance between the rectus abdominis muscles at rest and during contraction at several levels along the linea alba. [9] Diastasis recti is defined as a gap of about 2.7 cm or greater between the two sides of the rectus abdominis muscle. [1]

The two can also be brought together simultaneously when neither is fixed in space.

It also helps in keeping the internal organs intact ...
